Looks like a union; you'll probably also need to cut away the drywall above the valve and see if there's a second union on the pipe coming out the other end.

Looks like you have a union (Tuplumber may want to confirm). You should be able to shutoff your water, drain the lines and spin the brass nut off the bottom and top of the regulator, take it up to Locke supply and get another one. They might even carry them at Lowes or Home Depot.
That is a union below. Cut above and see if there is one on the top. Locke plumbing supply, winnelson in BA are going to be the best places to get one at. I am not sure either is open today.
Hi,
Thanks guys - I'll cut some more drywall away and see what is on top.

Why wouldn't they be open, it is a Monday and tomorrow is the official holiday.
Hi,
What is the downside of waiting until Wednesday to fix it? Just noisy? Or could it cause damage?
Thanks,
Alan

It will be fine until Wednesday.
I bet there open. Some of the plumbing supply places will close down early though just to give the employees some added time off. That's the only reason I am on here and not working today. Taking extra time off for the holidays with the family.
Hi,
I called Locke and they are open til 5pm today. I cut more drywall away and there is a nut on the top as well. Are both nuts going to be opened by going CCW? Or is one CCW and one CW ???
Thanks for all the help everyone,
Alan

Top one will be counter clockwise and bottom one will be clockwise to open. Try and have a wet vac handy to suck up any water.
